Computer problem? I seem to have a problem when viewing web pages as the pages suddenly seem way too wide for my screen and I end up having to scroll across just to read e-mail messages and some sites.

Can somebody help me with my computer problem? So I have had this problem with internet explorer for several weeks now. My address in the address bar never save.

If I close out of explorer and come back in then the addresses will be there, but if i turn my computer off or if it goes on stand by, the next time I get into internet explorer the addresses are gone.

How to fix a minor computer problem? I am trying to fix my little brother's HP computer and I am not sure what the hell he did to it but it doesn't even power on. I had thought it was because of the A/C power cord but I tried several of them and they didn't work. I noticed that when I inserted the cord into the computer power socket, a green light on the outside, almost right next to the socket goes on and off when it has power so I am not quite sure what the problem is. I checked the inside of the CPU and nothing is unplugged, well wires that I know are not supposed to be plugged in aren't and the ones that are supposed to, are. If anyone can help, please answer back so I can try several solutions to my problem. Like I said, when I insert and pull out the plug from the socket, not the wall socket, the computer power socket, the green light goes on then immediately turns off. I press the power button and nothing happens, please help!

Major computer problem, why does my computer constantly have error reports and restarts all the time? I will be surfing the internet and suddenly it will close and a "send error report to microsoft" will pop up. It has redirected me to a microsoft webpage a couple of times saying that I'm experiencing this because of a software problem or hardware. I have also recieved a blue screen a few times. I took it to Geek Squad and they said nothing was wrong. They said they would optimize my computer and remove unused toolbars and that would fix the problem. It didn't. I took it home and the same things kept happening. This all began when I switched to DSL. Everyone tells me it's not the DSL but a software problem. I've restored my computer several times since than : have firewall up, antivirus and spyware by Webroot; K9 parental protection and 007 e-spy; Java; ErrorSmart are the only software I download on my computer each time I've restored it. What is going on and what can I do?

Can anyone diagnose my computer problem? I'm pretty sure it's my video card(radeon 9800 pro) but heres the problem. After the computer's been shut down for awhile, when i turn it on it will keep turning off before windows loads so it takes about 5 tries for it to load. Sometimes i get artifacting on the windows loading screen and desktop too before it turns off. And also, in games(particularly UT2004) i get terrible frame rate loss on lowest settings. I used to get a steady 85(max) FPS with everything on high. So probably a video card problem?

Can anyone help me with a serious computer problem? A couple of days ago when I turned on my computer it only started in safe mode. I was finally able ot get it out of safe mode.

And to make matters worse, now when I go to the Control Panel and click on Display to change the settings I get prompt asking which program I want to use to open it, and that has never happened before. The only thing I am able to open is internet explorer, and even then it is not opening to my default browser. If anyone at all has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them.

I have a computer problem-help really appreciated? Everytime I log off my PC, it resets everything, so nothing gets stored or saved. Everything deletes, even internet pages I have been on etc. When I start my computer these are the messages that appear: 1.Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator. DETAIL - An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed unrecoverably. The registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the registry. 2.Windows cannot find local profile and is logging on a temporary one. I had my computer re-formatted a couple of months ago because my son deleted an important part of the system by accident. Has it got anything to do with this. Is there anything I can do? Hope someone can help. Thanks My windows system is xp, and I dont have the original windows disk as I had someone to build my pc a long time ago and they must have used there disk which I dont have.
